Coronary artery disease

Coronary artery disease (abbreviated CHD) - It is a disease, uniting angina, myocardial infarction, and atherosclerotic cardio. IBS develops due to insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries of the heart due to narrowing of the lumen.

Unfortunately doctors, and patients, treatment of this "disease of the century" drugs under-performing. Because tablets are not able to "dissolve" cholesterol plaques inside the vessel of the heart. Over the years, the plaque grows, obstructing blood flow, and the prospect of a myocardial infarction can become dangerous. Required coronary artery bypass grafting - the hardest surgery. Unrest close, long months of recovery, frightening word "disability" ...

But do not despair. In our cardiology there is an alternative and tablets, and complex operations: High-tech catheter sparing intervention - coronary angiography and balloon angioplasty and stenting of the coronary arteries.

Judge for yourself: These procedures do not require anesthesia, to be safe and well tolerated.

The very next day after surgery you will be walking, and less than a week - go back to their normal work without any restrictions.

Why there is coronary heart disease?

With age, along the inner lining of the coronary arteries appear fat fatty substances, such as cholesterol. These fatty deposits called atherosclerotic plaques. Over time, they grow, narrowing the lumen of the arteries and obstructing blood flow to the heart muscle. As a result, arteriosclerotic plaques impede blood flow to the heart muscle, what we signaled chest pain - angina. So developing coronary heart disease.
Symptoms of coronary heart disease

Something to keep in mind, that coronary heart disease - a disease, that progresses very slowly. And it is very important to detect the disease at early stages of development.

An important diagnostic sign of coronary heart disease is a feeling of discomfort in the chest or back, occurs during walking, certain physical or emotional stress, and after passing the termination of this load. A characteristic feature of angina is also the rapid disappearance of discomfort after taking nitroglycerin (10-15 sec.).

In recent years, an increasing number of cases of sudden death in patients with coronary artery disease. Arterial disease, supplying the heart, leads to stenosis and obstruction blocked; as a result of impaired blood supply to the heart muscle.

How to diagnose coronary artery disease?

For precise diagnosis should be, primarily, contact a qualified cardiologist.

Your doctor will carefully study the cause and development of diseases, assigns research, necessary to confirm the diagnosis. You can pass complex inspection, without leaving the building clinics Tornado.

The final stage of diagnosis is coronary angiography. This is the most modern method, which allows you to determine the number and size of atherosclerotic plaques, as well as their location in the vessels of the heart.
